I had just been thinking of you as I was cleaning out my classroom for the summer - I still have a little note you scratched out on black paper for me when you were in 8th grade that I hang on the bulletin board behind my desk each year. I packed it away and thought I needed to look for you the next time I'm in Fred Meyers and say hello. I am real sorry you have to go through this difficult time and just want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care - love, Mrs. Storms Jack Combo Don and Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. May her soul rest in peace in the realm of God's love and heavenly eternal reward.
